Fresh off a historic, record-breaking brace against Erzurumspor that saw him become the third-highest scoring foreign player in Galatasaray history, the football world is locked in a fierce, chaotic war over exactly how much cash it would take to buy Nigeria's Victor Osimhen.

The fuse was lit by prominent Turkish journalist Ugur Meleke. Speaking on beIN Sports, Meleke showered the 27-year-old Super Eagles icon with praise but dropped a valuation that instantly set the internet on fire.

"Osimhen is one of the world's top 5 active center forwards, but he's as hungry as if he were starting football today," Meleke declared. "His transfer fee should be €150M."

"Even €150M Is Too Low!"

Instead of celebrating the massive figure, fans completely lost their minds, blasting the valuation as a total insult to the striker's world-class abilities.

In an era where completely average players are traded for astronomical fees, supporters argue that €150 million is a daylight robbery.

“They charge 80–100M for average dudes just because they're playing in Europe," one furious fan shot back on social media. "For Osimhen, even 150M would be too low next to these guys!"

Another fan took aim at the striker's former club, claiming his initial move away from Italy was a complete heist: "The price Napoli got for Osimhen seems so ridiculously low to me that it feels like they've straight-up scammed the club. Even 150 million would be too little for Osimhen."

The €690 Million Valuation

The financial outrage quickly escalated into pure comedy and deep defiance, with Galatasaray fans completely rejecting the idea of selling their prized asset at all.

"In every scenario where it drops below 200M, we'd be at a loss. What the hell is 150?" an angry supporter questioned.

Others took the numbers to absurd new heights to prove their point, with one fan boldly declaring, "Osimhen's current net value is 690 million Euros."

Ultimately, the general consensus among the Istanbul faithful is that the Nigerian powerhouse isn't going anywhere anytime soon, no matter how many millions are thrown at the club president.

"What's up, jackal? What leaving? What 150M?" a fan posted. "Osimhen's been ours for 10 years. At 37 years old, maybe he can leave then!"

Osimhen’s relentless hunger on the pitch, constantly pressing goalkeepers, hunting down defenders, and bagging back-to-back braces, has made him priceless to the fans.

Anyone looking to buy Europe's most ruthless striker had better prepare to pay a lot more than €150 million.
